Your May Horoscope - What Will This Month Bring?

What’s no longer meant to be will be released, and what is meant for you will enter your life. With Mercury retrograde starting on May 11th, you can count on plenty of changes taking place.

The key thing to remember is this is a time of realignment. You’re being nudged back onto the path best for you. Knowing how these eclipses will affect your sign is beneficial because it offers the opportunity to merge with the energy, rather than resist it.

Read on to learn what this month has in store for you, and remember you can always consult a top-rated online psychic to figure out the best way to embrace your path forward.

Aries

You’re on a roll, Aries, and things only keep getting better in May. Your year might have been off to a rocky start, but the energy of May will be giving you renewed strength and confidence to initiate new projects, change up your style, and expand your horizons. 

With Venus moving through your 1st house of self-identity, consider how your outer appearance reflects the inner you, and make the changes to be your favorite self inside and out. Jupiter, the bringer of good luck, moves into your sign on May 11th, where it will remain the rest of the year, signaling your life is in for a major growth spurt!

You’ve outgrown certain areas of your life and now feel ready to expand. The lunar eclipse on May 16th will cut toxic relationships from your life. You’re breaking the chains of outdated emotional ties, noticing where you’ve been devaluing yourself, and maintaining relationships based on guilt, shame, and fear. 

With the Sun moving through your 2nd house of self-worth, you now see how much light you have to give. There’s no more room for those who dim your shine or steal your spotlight. Energy vampires, be gone! You’re ready for the next level.

Taurus

It’s your birthday season, Taurus! And although there’s plenty of opportunity for festivities, consider giving yourself the gift of an energy budget. Anxiety is contagious, and being around people who interrupt your cherished sense of balance can lead to second-hand stress. 

You’re growing more aware of how others’ energy impacts you. Taurus-Scorpio eclipses dominating the energy of this month invite you to restructure your relationships with others to better meet your own needs.

Venus, Mars, and Jupiter moving through your 12th house of solitude and spirituality this month indicates it’s best to limit how much of yourself you give to others, especially to those who only seem to bring drama into your life or drain your energy. Remember, you can pick and choose who you share yourself with, and there’s power in keeping some things private. 

For the next 6 months, you’ll be focused on building intimate ties with a few select people rather than sharing yourself with everyone. Be selective: The bonds you form this month will have a lasting impact on the rest of your year.

Gemini

It’s time to pursue your dreams, Gemini. The Taurus-Scorpio eclipse energy of this month is calling you to change your mindset and believe in a higher power. As unhappy as you are with aspects of your daily life, whether it’s a job that isn’t related to your true goals or demands from others that keep you from pursuing your own path, the energy of this month invites you to release these unsatisfying obligations and reconnect with your spirit to forge a new path.

Mercury retrograde, which begins in your sign on May 11th and lasts through the month, is a time to re-imagine your identity, something you’re quite good at as the maverick of the zodiac. Think about your hopes and wishes for humanity and be the change you want to see in the world. 

Then recall the person you always dreamed you would be, and take action to become that version of yourself this month. The Sun is moving through your 12th house of subconscious and intuition through May 21st, making it a great time to get psychic advice from a service like Keen about the changes needed to manifest your grandest vision of life.

Cancer

It’s time to come out of your shell, Cancer! This month, you’ll be drawing a lot of attention with your ambition to go for what you want. Oftentimes you’re comfortable letting others take the spotlight, but you have true leadership skills — whether this is within your workplace, friend group, or family, others look to you for guidance. 

The Taurus-Scorpio eclipse energy this month invites you to be more active in your community and rally people together around a cause you believe in.

But be aware that communication might be slower than usual this month with Mercury going retrograde. You might feel you can’t find the right words to express yourself or that you’re simply feeling more forgetful. This is because you’ll be communicating more through creativity, emotional connection, and visual expressions, such as art. 

Studies show art promotes good mental health, so you might want to plan a trip to a museum or schedule a time to paint, sculpt, or draw  — whatever creative artform is calling you. This will keep you in a good headspace this month and be a positive emotional outlet.

Leo

What have you been yearning to learn, Leo? This is your opportune time to further your education about something that’s been sparking your interest lately. Whether it’s a new skill, ancient philosophy, or spiritual calling making you feel passionate, it’s time to follow your curiosity and dive in. 

With Jupiter moving into your 9th house of higher education and foreign travel, you might even consider a pilgrimage to the mecca of your interest. Good fortune comes by immersing yourself fully and having faith the next step will fall into place as you go.

The Taurus-Scorpio eclipse energy of this month will bring deep healing and release around tension related to your family. Perhaps you’ve carried inner child wounds or have struggled with forgiving a loved one’s mistake. There’s an opportunity to wipe the slate clean over the next 18 months, starting with the Full Moon on May 16th. 

Consider writing down what you want to release or change in regard to your family dynamics or speaking with a top-rated psychic on California Psychics, for example, to facilitate this emotional release. Freeing yourself of this heavy burden will be liberating, and for the first time in a while, you’ll feel the inner peace of knowing things will be all right.

Virgo

What’s your relationship with your body, Virgo? You don’t need to answer this right now, just let this question guide you this month. More so than other zodiac signs, you strive for your routine to consist of clean eating and exercise, especially with Saturn moving through your 6th house of diet and daily life, through maintaining your health by exerting control. 

Let’s be honest, you’re quite hard on yourself sometimes, never feeling “good enough.” This month, the eclipse energy of the Taurus new moon invites you to explore your body’s wisdom from within. Embodiment practice will help to cultivate a relationship with your body rooted in love, compassion, and acceptance.

It’s time to move away from your desire to right the wrong of every evil in the world. This is only taking you on a one-way road to burnout. The best thing to do for everyone this month is to release your addiction to the news, take a social media detox, and reclaim your sense of presence. By simplifying your life and releasing your attachment to intensely emotional media, relationships, or hobbies, you’ll feel a deeply satisfying sense of peace and contentment.

Libra

Ready, set, tango, Libra! There’s nothing but dynamic duo energy for you this month, indicating you’ll be quite in demand, with friends and family hoping you’ll grace them with your presence. 

It might seem like everyone has something they want you to do with them, but with Mars moving through your 7th house of relationships, you’ll be more focused on pursuing your own goals. If people want to spend time with you, you’ll be calling the shots and picking out the plans, which isn’t your usual MO, but will feel very rewarding.

During the lunar eclipse on May 16th, you’ll be shedding doubts about your worthiness to receive good things in life. You’re ready to stop wondering if you’re good enough and start demonstrating that you know your value and aren’t ready to settle for less. 

This new attitude will be very attractive in your relationships, and family members, friends, or a partner will love seeing this confidence shine through. With this renewed trust in yourself, you’ll be ready to take a special relationship deeper. By releasing self-doubt, you are able to share more intimately with those you love.

Scorpio

You’re in for a month of transformation, Scorpio. The lunar eclipse on May 16th in your 1st house of self-identity will be a catalyst for change. You will be realizing just how far you’ve come and how you no longer relate to a former version of yourself. Part of this change may be in regard to a recent relationship you’ve formed that has you seeing yourself in a whole new light. 

This person is bringing out the best in you, and, as a result, you’re making changes in your life that reflect this. With Mercury retrograde from May 11th through the end of the month, just make sure to be cautious about merging resources, such as money or living together. June will provide a more opportune time to take the next step forward.

Along with personal growth and relationship developments, this month will be busy for you. Your day-to-day life might feel like you’re moving from one thing to the next on a tight schedule, but there’s good fortune coming your way by putting in the effort to succeed. Make sure you don’t get stuck at your desk, and take frequent breaks to move your body. Exercise or sports will be the best outlet for your excess energy.

Sagittarius

Are you ready for some more responsibility, Sagittarius? You have the reputation for being the zodiac’s adventure-loving party animal, but the Taurus-Scorpio eclipse energy of this month is offering you opportunities that satisfy both your desire for excitement and stability at the same time. The lunar eclipse on May 16th helps you to release the self-defeating patterns of shunning responsibility. From steady income to a regular workout routine, you’ll be ready to cultivate a consistent schedule that fits your goals.

There’s a good chance your desire for some steadiness in life might also be driven by romance. With Venus and Jupiter, the two luckiest and fortunate planets, moving through your 5th house of creativity, fun, and true love, romance will definitely be on your mind. You might be feeling like you’ve met someone who truly feels like relationship material. If you’re wondering if you’ve found the one or if the person of your dreams will soon be coming into your life, ask an expert love psychic for guidance.

Capricorn

When was the last time you indulged, Capricorn? Your practical nature often favors economy over luxury, but the energy of the solar eclipse in Taurus invites you to reconnect with your body through experiences that awaken your senses. Consider bodywork, such as a massage or facial, a fine dining experience, beautiful flowers, or a new essential oil diffuser. 

Try to view pampering your body as a sacred ritual, and listen to your inner guidance about what your body needs to feel good. Your route to creativity is through the body, and as you fulfill your body’s requests, you’ll feel blocks releasing to bring more alignment into your life.

It’s important to stay grounded because there will be a lot of rearranging in your domestic life. Jupiter moving through your 4th house of homes and family will have you craving an expansion or change. You might be starting a renovation, painting, buying new furniture, or even moving. Your sense of home is also related to your ancestral roots, you might also be called to learn more about your family’s place of origin. Make the most of this energy by meditating on what home means to you and the ways you wish for it to expand this year.

Aquarius

You’re a natural rebel, Aquarius, but do you ever feel like the scapegoat? It might feel like the responsibility of pointing out what’s wrong within a system falls on your shoulders or that you always need to pick up the slack for others. 

But the lunar eclipse on May 16th is an opportunity to free yourself from doing others’ grunt work and hone your own expertise. This might require stepping out of the public eye for a little bit, but when you emerge again it will be with much more sovereignty and clarity about the direction you are headed.

The Taurus solar eclipse energy is calling you to nest in your domestic life. Spending time sprucing up your home, relaxing in your own environment, and tending to your emotional needs creates a foundation for you to build from in the coming month. The best thing you can do is tune into your own vibration. 

When Mercury goes retrograde on May 11th, you’ll have the opportunity to catch up with good friends and family you haven’t talked to in a while. They will help to remind you of your roots and who you are at your core essence, which helps you to realign with your true self.

Pisces

Are you feeling energized, Pisces? Mars, the planet of action and drive, is moving through your sign through May 25th, giving you a whole lot of stamina. This is good for you because chances are you’ve been busy with local events and hangouts with friends. 

The lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May 16th will highlight how much your faith has grown in the past year as Jupiter moved through your sign. Fears about the future and self-doubts will feel settled. They’re not gone for good, but they are no longer influencing your life and the choices you make like they once were.

This month’s focus is on grounding and tending to the practical areas of life. You would benefit from reviewing your bank and credit card statements, creating a budget, and making a savings plan. These things don’t sound too exciting, but they are a form of self-care. You’ve learned the hard way about what happens when you neglect these daily realities of life. 

You’ve come too far to make the same mistakes again, so pick a time, get it done, and make sure to treat yourself afterward.
